Key to World genera of Diomini View in CoL sens. nov.
(excluding Erratodiomus and Magnodiomus ( Hyperaspidini ) ( Figs. 1–2 View FIGURES 1–2 ))
1. Antenna with 10 antennomeres........................................................................... 2
1’. Antenna with 11 antennomeres........................................................................... 4
2. Species restricted to the New World....................................................................... 3
2’. Species occurring outside the New World............................................... Diomus Mulsant , in part
3. Female genitalia ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 3–12 ) with sperm duct generally long, convoluted; spermatheca vermiform throughout, lacking bulbous basal chamber. Male genitalia ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 3–12 ) with main tube of penis completing half to three-quarters turn or more within basal ½, somewhat spiraliform; penis bearing long or short apical flagellum; penis capsule ( Figs. 7, 11–12 View FIGURES 3–12 ) with long slender inner arm that may be strongly procurved ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 3–12 ); outer arm truncated or obliterated ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 3–12 ), leaving large oval orifice to mark its place; some species with fragment of outer arm present but not enclosing ejaculatory duct ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 3–12 ). Predators on Sternorrhyncha ( Pseudococcidae , Coccidae , Diaspididae , Monophlebidae , Ortheziidae ). Larvae free-living......... Decadiomus Chapin
3’. Female genitalia ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 3–12 ) with sperm duct of moderate length, may be weakly sinuous; spermatheca with bulbous basal chamber. Male genitalia ( Figs. 8 View FIGURES 3–12 , 29–32 View FIGURES 29–32 ) with main tube of penis completing half turn within basal ½, forming fishhook shape; penis lacking apical flagellum; inner and outer arms of penis capsule ( Fig. 10 View FIGURES 3–12 ) equally well developed, broadly consolidated into fanlike shape with sinuous distal margin; ejaculatory duct enters penis capsule through small opening in outer angle of capsule. Parasites of Piper plants that feed on food bodies. Larvae develop in silken tents constructed between leaf veins ( Figs. 40–42 View FIGURES 40–42 ).................................................................................. Moiradiomus gen. nov.
4. Length of terminal antennomere approximately equal to twice width, longer than basal 3 antennomeres combined................................................................................................. Andrzej Ślipiński
4.’ Length of terminal antennomere ( Figs. 1a,b View FIGURES 1–2 ) less than twice width (except in Diomus sedani ), much shorter than basal 3 antennomeres combined..................................................................................... 5
5. Pronotum with sharp submarginal carinae separating the anterolateral pronotal angles from the disc. Australia..................................................................................................... Dichaina Weise
5.’ Pronotum without submarginal carinae..................................................................... 6
6. Prosternum T-shaped, long anterior to coxal cavities (subequal to length of cavity), with short carinae not extending to apex. Female genitalia with bulbous base to spermatheca, with distally tapered sclerotized sheath in basal half of sperm duct (similar to Moiradiomus ; Fig. 6 View FIGURES 3–12 ). Restricted to the New World........................................ Heterodiomus Brèthes
6.’ Without the above combination of characters. Distributed world wide................................ Diomus Mulsant
